THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF
GEORGIA
The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher
education in Georgia 4 universities, 14 senior colleges, 15 junior colleges. These
33 public institutions are located throughout the state.
A 15-member constitutional Board of Regents governs the University System, which
has been in operation since 1932. Appointments of Board members five from the
state-at-large and one from each of the state's 10 Congressional Districts are made
by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. The regular term of
Board members is seven years.
The Chairperson, the Vice Chairperson, and other officers of the Board are elected
by the members of the Board. The Chancellor, who is not a member of the Board, is
the chief executive officer of the Board and the chief administrative officer of the Univer-
sity System.
The overall programs and services of the University System are offered through
three major components: Instruction; Public Service/Continuing Education; Research.
INSTRUCTION consists of programs of study leading toward degrees, ranging from
the associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level, and certificates.
Requirements for admission of students to instructional programs at each institu-
tion are determined, pursuant to policies of the Board of Regents, by the institution.
The Board establishes minimum academic standards and leaves to each institution
the prerogative to establish higher standards. Applications for admission should be
addressed in all cases to the institutions.
A Core Curriculum, consisting of freshman and sophomore years of study for students
whose educational goal is a degree beyond the associate level, is in effect at the univer-
sities, senior colleges, and junior colleges. This Curriculum requires 90 quarter-credit-
hours, including 60 in general education humanities, mathematics and natural
sciences, and social sciences and 30 in the student's chosen major area of study. It
facilitates the transfer of freshman and sophomore degree credits within the Univer-
sity System.
Instruction is conducted by all institutions.
PUBLIC SERVICE/CONTINUING EDUCATION consists of non-degree activities,
primarily, and special types of college-degree-credit courses.
The non-degree activities are of several types, including such as short courses,
seminars, conferences, lectures, and consultative and advisory services, in a large
number of areas of interest.
Non-degree public service/continuing education is conducted by all institutions.
Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are those
offered through extension center programs and teacher education consortiums.
RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery and ap-
plication of knowledge. These investigations include clearly defined projects in some
cases, non-programmatic activities in other cases. They are conducted on campuses
and at many off-campus locations.
12
The research investigations cover a large number and a large variety of matters
related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general societal needs.
Most of the research is conducted through the universities; however, some of it is
conducted through several of the senior colleges.
The policies of the Board of Regents for the government, management, and control
of the University System and the administrative actions of the Chancellor provide
autonomy of high degree for each institution. The executive head of each institution
is the President, whose election is recommended by the Chancellor and approved by
the Board.
State appropriations for the University System are requested by, and are made to,
the Board of Regents. Allocations of the appropriations are made by the Board. The
largest share of the state appropriations approximately 52 percent is allocated by
the Board for Instruction. The percentages of funds derived from all sources for In-
struction in the 1980-81 fiscal year were: 77 percent from state appropriations, 20 per-
cent from student fees, 3 percent from other internal income of institutions.

HISTORY
By Act of the General Assembly on November 26, 1890, the State of Georgia
"established in connection with the State University, and forming one of the depart-
ments thereof, a school for the education and training of Negro students." A commis-
sion was appointed to procure the necessary grounds and buildings, and to prescribe
a course of study that would include those studies required by the Morrill Land-Grant
Acts of 1862 and 1890.
The Commission on the School for Negro Students was designated as the Board
of Trustees for the School, with perpetual succession subject to the general Board
of Trustees of the University of Georgia. The Chancellor of the University of Georgia
was given general supervision of the school.
A preliminary session of the school was held between June 1 and August 1, 1891,
at the Baxter Street School building in Athens, Georgia. Richard R. Wright, the first
principal, and three other instructors comprised the faculty. In the following year the
school was moved to its present site, which is approximately five miles southwest
of the Courthouse of Savannah, Georgia, partly in Savannah and partly in Thunder-
bolt. The school was given the name "The Georgia State Industrial College for Col-
ored Youths," and its faculty consisted of Major Wright as President, instructors in
English, mathematics, and natural sciences, a superintendent of the mechanical depart-
ment, and a foreman of the farm.
During the thirty years that Major Wright served as President of the College,
enrollment increased from 8 to 585 and the curriculum was expanded to include a normal
division in addition to four years of high school. Training in agriculture and the
mechanical arts also was begun.
The first women students were admitted as boarders in 1921; the first summer
session was conducted in 1922; and in 1925 the governing body of the College was
changed from a Commission with "perpetual succession" to a Board of Trustees whose
members were appointed for four year terms. All of these changes occurred during
the presidency of C. G. Wiley, the first alumnus of the College to become president,
who served from 1921 to 1926.
Under President Benjamin F. Hubert (1926-1947), the entire academic program
was reorganized. The high school and normal departments were discontinued and the
school became a four-year college. In 1931, when the University System was placed
under a Board of Regents, the College began to offer bachelor's degree programs with
majors in English, the natural sciences, social sciences, and business administration,
as well as in agriculture and home economics.
Until 1947, the College served as the State land-grant institution for Negroes.
In that year this function was assumed by Fort Valley State College.
During the administration of President James A. Colston (1947-1949), the facul-
ty was strengthened and improvements were made in the physical plant. Among the
programs that were launched at this time were the Alumni Scholarship Drive, Cam-
pus Chest, Annual Men's Day, Religious Emphasis Week, Freshmen Week, and the
Cultural Artists Series. Expanded programs of students personnel services, and public
relations, a reading clinic, and an audio visual aids laboratory were instituted under
the leadership of President Colston.
16
Dean W. K. Payne became acting president of the College on September 1, 1949.
The Regents of the University System of Georgia changed the name of the College
from Georgia State College to Savannah State College on January 18, 1950. Dr. Payne
became the fifth President of the College on March 1950; he served in this capacity
until his death on July 26, 1963.
At the beginning of Dr. Payne's administration, Savannah State College was
granted membership in the American Council on Education. During the course of his
administration the curriculum was expanded and improved and the institution was
admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In ad-
dition the academic program of the College was organized under seven divisions
Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences,
Technical Sciences, and Home Study.
Timothy C. Meyers served as acting president from the time of Dr. Payne's death
until November 1, 1963. Myers had served as dean of the faculty since September, 1953.
Under the leadership of Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr. (November 1, 1963 through
January 31, 1971), significant, far-reaching and innovative programs were initiated
in all aspects of the College's development. Curricula improvements in the general
education program in teacher education, and in business administration, as well as
other areas, were carried forward. A graduate studies program in elementary educa-
tion was initiated in the summer of 1968. The mantle of educational leadership at Savan-
nah State College passed from Dr. Jordan to Dr. Prince A. Jackson, Jr., on February
1, 1971.
Many of the improvements and innovations begun during President Jordan's ad-
ministration came to fruition during the first year of Dr. Jack's tenure. The three
engineering technology programs civil, electronics, and mechanical were accredited
by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development in 1973. Dr. Jackson served
until March 27, 1978, when he was succeeded by Dr. Clyde W. Hall, who at the time
of his appointment as acting president was serving as Chairman of the Division of
Technical Sciences.
In September 1979, due to the desegregation plan mandated by the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare, the faculty and students in the Division of Educa-
tion at Savannah State College were transferred to Armstrong State College and Savan-
nah State College received the faculty and students in the Division of Business from
Armstrong State College in a historic program swap. This program swap resulted in
the creation of a new School of Business at Savannah State College during the 1979-80
academic year.
Additionally, on April 13, 1980 the Board of Regents of the University System
of Georgia approved a new Administrative organization plan for Savannah State Col-
lege for 1980-81. Under the plan Savannah State was reorganized into three schools
Business; Humanities and Social Sciences; and Sciences and Technology. On
September 15, 1980, Dr. Wendell G. Rayburn became the eighth president of Savan-
nah State College.

Buildings and Grounds
The campus, comprising 165 acres, presents a unique setting of natural beauty.
Among its 44 buildings are two that were constructed during the administration of
Major Richard R. Wright: Hill Hall (1901), and Hammond Hall (1915), both of which
have been extensively renovated in recent years. Hill Hall is occupied by most of the
Federal Programs and Extended Services; and Hammond Hall is the present site of
the Department of Home Economics.
W. K. Payne Hall, a two-story air conditioned building, is a main classroom building.
In addition to its fifteen classrooms, it also provides office space for thirty-two in-
structors (including four departmental offices), data processing facilities, a secretarial
center, a language laboratory, a reading clinic and the Learning Resource Center. Most
of the classes in the English, Social Sciences, Modern Languages, and Developmen-
tal Studies Departments are held in this facility.
Other classroom buildings, and the Departments that each house are Herty Hall
(1937) Mathematics and Physics; Hubert Technical Sciences Center
(I960) Engineering Technology and Chemistry; Morgan Hall (1936) and Morgan Hall
Annex; J. F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center (1967) Fine Arts; the Griffith-Drew Center
for the Natural Sciences (1971) Biology; and Wiley- Wilcox Gymnasium Complex-
Physical Education.
Completing the physical facilities of the campus are those buildings used for ac-
tivities that are auxiliary to the instructional process, those used as student residence
halls and those used to house the maintenance and operational staffs. The Martin
Luther King-Varnetta Frazier Student Center Complex (1969) houses the Student
Counseling Offices, the College Dining Hall, the Post Office, and the offices directly
involved in student life and student activities. Adams Hall (1931), formerly used as
the dining hall, is now an annex of the Student Center, while Powell Hall, constructed
in 1932 as the Laboratory School for the College, is now a Nursery School Kindergarten,
and serves as the laboratory for the Early Childhood Education Program. Powell Hall
also houses the student-created Ethnic Culture Center.
Three new buildings were completed in 1976. A new library, destined to be the first
circular-shaped library in the state, was occupied that year and serves as the hub for
the other buildings located on the southern portion of the campus. Adjacent to the
new library is the Helen Adele Whiting Hall. This building houses the School of
Business. The third new building is the NROTC Armory located adjacent to the
stadium. A portion of this building serves as an athletic field house. In 1982 the Presi-
dent's House and a Health Services Building were completed.
Residence halls include two recently completed ones: Smith-Bowen for women (1971)
and Melvin Bostick Men's Residence Hall (1972). Both dormitories are air-conditioned,
as is A. E. Peacock Hall (1967) and Lockette Hall (1965). Peacock Hall accomodates
180 men and Lockette hall, 180 women. Lester Hall (1965), a dormitory for young
women, completes the list of residence halls now used for housing accommodations.
Camilla Hall (1938) has been converted to married student housing. Wright Hall (1951),
a former dormitory, is being utilized to provide additional academic and administrative
office space. The studio for FM radio station WHCJ is also in Wright Hall. Asa Gor-
don Hall (1959) was recently renovated and converted into the Administration Building.
Most of the plant operations are directed from Medgar Evers Plant Operations Com-
plex, a modern facility that houses the main offices for Plant Operations and the Col-
lege Warehouse. Housekeeping services are now housed in the former field house.

STUDENT AFFAIRS
UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION TO THE
COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
A person who wishes to enroll at Savannah State College must file an application
form which can be obtained from the Director of Admissions and Records. If the ap-
plicant is a high school student he should file his application as early as possible dur-
ing his senior year. All applications must be filed at least twenty days prior to the
date of registration for the quarter in which the applicant plans to enroll. An appli-
cant must furnish evidence indicating that he or she has the ability to do college level
work.
Each applicant for admission is required to submit a properly completed applica-
tion form, a transcript or transcripts of previous academic work, test scores from the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, and a
$10.00 nonrefundable application fee. Transcripts should be mailed directly from the
applicant's former schools to the Director of Admissions and Records. Information
regarding the Scholastic Aptitude Test may be obtained from high school counselors,
any college that is a part of the University System of Georgia, or from the College
Entrance Examination Board, Post Office Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The
applicant should request that his scores be reported to the Director of Admissions
and Records, Savannah State College.
Savannah State College reserves the right to refuse to accept applications at any
time when it appears that students already accepted for the quarter for which the
applicant wishes to enroll will fill the institution to its maximum capacity. The col-
lege also reserves the right to reject an applicant who is not a resident of Georgia.
Savannah State College reserves the right to require that any applicant for ad-
mission take appropriate intelligence, aptitude, and physical examinations in order
to provide information bearing on his ability to pursue successfully courses of study
in which he wishes to enroll, and the right to reject any applicant who fails to pass
such examinations.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REGULAR ADMISSION
To be admitted as a regular degree- seeking student an applicant must meet the
conditions specified above and in addition:
1. Must be a graduate of an accredited or approved high school, or he must have
completed successfully the General Education Development (GED) Test. Proof
of this completion must be verified by the GED certificate;
2. Must have taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and achieved a score of
750 or more on the combined verbal and mathematics section. Student scor-
ing below 750 (or below 330 on either math or verbal sections) may be considered
for Admission to the Developmental Studies Program.
3. Pay a ten dollar non-refundable application fee.
22
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONDITIONAL
ADMISSION
A student who does not meet the above requirements for regular admission will
be conditionally admitted to the college if he meets at least one of the following specific
requirements:
1. high school point average of 1.8 or better (this grade point average is to be
based on academic course-work only)
OR
2. a score of not less than 250 on the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
OR
3. a score of not less than 280 on the mathematics section of the Scholastic Ap-
titude Test
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Applicants for admission whose scores on the combined verbal and mathematics
sections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test are less than 750, will be granted Conditional
Admission until they have taken the Basic Skills Examination (BSE) in English,
Reading, and Mathematics, and have achieved satisfactory scores on each test. Those
students whose scores on the BSE are satisfactory will be granted regular admission.
The "conditional admission" status will be continued for those students whose scores
are unsatisfactory on any one of the BSE components. These students will be referred
to the Department of Developmental Studies where they will be required to follow
a course of study especially designed to assist them in overcoming any deficiencies
in knowledge or skills revealed by the test results. They will be granted regular ad-
mission status and permitted to take college level courses only after they have achieved
passing scores on the Basic Skills Examination.
DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM
The Developmental Studies program is designed for entering students who have
demonstrated marked deficiencies in English, Reading, and Mathematics.
A "Developmental Studies Student" is any student whose score on either of the
BSE Tests was lower than the passing score given below. Such students must take
all Developmental Studies courses (courses numbered 99 or below), unless the results
of their BSE Tests place them in one of the following categories:
1. Students who pass both the English and Reading tests but fail the Mathematics
test. These students are only required to take Developmental Studies
Mathematics; they may enroll in any 100 level course except Mathematics or
courses having Mathematics as a prerequisite.
2. Students who pass the Mathematics test but fail either the English or Reading
Test. These students may take 100 level Mathematics courses. All other courses,
except for Physical Education Seasonal Activities courses, and Freshman Orien-
tation, must be Developmental Studies courses.
23
Developmental Studies Students will have one year in which to demonstrate proficiency
in those areas in which they were initially deemed deficient. Such proficiency may
be demonstrated by attaining the score on the BSE Tests originally established as
the passing score (63 in English, 63 in Reading, 63 in Mathematics). Students who
do not demonstrate such proficiency within one year will not be permitted to continue
matriculation at Savannah State College unless special approval has been recommended
by the Developmental Studies Department and approved by the Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
General policies governing admission of transfer students and acceptance of credit
toward advanced standing are as follows:
1. All regulations applicable to students entering college for the first time shall
be applicable to students transferring from other colleges, insofar as the regula-
tions are pertinent to the applications of transfer students.
2. A student transferring from another college will supply the Director of Ad-
missions and Records with transcripts of his records at colleges previously at-
tended. These transcripts must be sent directly from the registrars at the
previous colleges to the Director of Admissions and Records. The Director of
Admissions and Records will determine the applicant's academic qualifications
on the basis of these transcripts. An applicant will not be considered for ad-
mission unless transcripts of his record show honorable discharge from colleges
attended.
3. Transfer applicants who will enter with less than 45 quarter hours must meet
entrance requirements of both freshman and transfer applicants, and will be
required to submit their high school records as well as transcripts of previous
college records.
4. Transfer applicants must pay a $10.00 non-refundable application fee.
5. Persons who have earned grades of "C" or higher in courses taken at accredited
colleges and who, in the judgement of the Committee on Admissions, have
presented otherwise satisfactory credentials may be admitted.
Those courses that are equivalent to courses offered at Savannah State College will
be accepted toward advanced standing, provided that a grade of "C" or higher was
earned. Students transferring from any unit within the University System of Georgia
will be credited for courses on the same basis as students originally enrolled at Savannah
State College.
6. Credit allowed for extension, correspondence, CLEP examination or military
service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours.
7. A transfer student who has earned excessive credit in freshman and sophomore
courses may not be granted credit in excess of 90 quarter hours below the junior
class level. No more than a total of 120 quarter hours will be acceptable as
transfer credit.
8. The college reserves the right to reject any or all credits from other institu-
tions notwithstanding their accredited status when it determines through in-
vestigation or otherwise that the quality of instruction at such institutions is
for any reason deficient or unsatisfactory. The judgement of the college on this
question shall be final.
24
The evaluation of transfer credit is given a student upon admission. The college
reserves the right to disallow transfer credit for courses if the student's subse-
quent grades in required courses in the same subject fall below average.
TRANSIENT STUDENTS
A student who has taken work in another college may apply for the privilege of
temporary registration at Savannah State College. Such a student will ordinarily be
one who expects to return to the college in which he was previously enrolled.
The following policies shall govern the admission of students with transient status:
1. The admissions officer of Savannah State College must be furnished evidence
that the institution the student previously attended was an accredited or ap-
proved institution.
2. An applicant will be accepted as a transient student only when it appears that
the applicant's previous academic work is of a satisfactory or superior quali-
ty. The Director of Admissions and Records shall have the right to require the
applicant to submit a transcript of his previous college work.
3. An applicant for admission as a transient student must present a statement
from the dean or registrar of the institution that he last attended recommend-
ing his admission as a transient student. A transcript is not normally required.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Persons who desire to enroll in a course or courses but who do not intend to com-
plete a specific degree or other program may register as special students. A total of
45 quarter hours may be taken as special student. Any special student who decides
subsequently to enroll in a regular college program must then satisfy all of the re-
quirements of regular admission.
READMISSION OF FORMER STUDENTS
A student who has not been enrolled at Savannah State College for one or more
quarters must apply for readmission on a form provided by the Admission Office. This
requirement does not apply to students who do not register for courses during the
summer quarter. A former student who has not attended another college since leav-
ing Savannah State may be readmitted provided he is not on suspension at the time
he wishes to reenter. A former student who has attended another college since leav-
ing Savannah State must meet requirements for readmission as a transfer student
or as a transient student, whichever is applicable. A student who is readmitted r ter
an absence from the College for more than two years must meet degree requirements
as listed in the bulletin in effect at the time of his return. An additional application
fee is not required.
25
AUDITORS
Regularly enrolled students at Savannah State College may be permitted to audit
courses, provided permission is obtained from the instructor in charge of the course
and the Dean of the College. A student auditing the course will not be placed on the
rolls and no report will be made to the Registrar.
Members of the faculty or staff of Savannah State College may audit courses,
provided permission is obtained from the department concerned and the Registrar.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
A student from a country other than the United States who is interested in at-
tending Savannah State College should write to the Director of Admissions and
Records, Savannah State College, Savannah, Georgia 31404 U.S.A. The student must
meet the following requirements for admission:
1. A completed application for admission with a $10.00 application fee, which must
be in the form of a money order or a certified check. This application must be
submitted at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the quarter for which the
student wishes to be admitted.
2. Official transcript(s) of academic record mailed to Admission Office with an
official translation.
3. Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board may be
taken at the testing center nearest the applicant's home. The scores must be
sent to Savannah State College.
4. A prospective student must submit evidence of financial ability to pursue his
education full-time in this country. No financial aid is available for interna-
tional students. All international students are required to pay out-of-state tui-
tion, unless they are under the sponsorship of an approved local organization.
It is required that the student take the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL) and ask that the results be sent to Savannah State College. The
minimum acceptable TOEFL score of 500 is required for admission of foreign
students.
After the completed application form is returned, along with all other necessary
materials, the applicant will be sent an 1-20 Form. If this 1-20 Form is not used for
the quarter applied, it must be returned for our records before another can be issued.
There is an International Student Association and an International Student Ad-
visor to assist international students in adjusting to campus life. All international
students should confer with the international students' advisor (Dr. K. B. Raut, Room
231, Griffith-Drew Hall) upon arrival on campus.
26
COLLEGE CREDIT BY EXAMINATION AND
EXPERIENCES
In an attempt to individualize the education of students, a program allowing credit
by examination has been initiated at the College. Through this program a student
may bypass subjects he or she has already mastered and pursue more advanced work.
A student may earn up to a total of forty-five hours of credit by examination on
the basis of College Level Examination program (CLEP) scores, scores earned under
the Advanced Placement Program (AP) of the College Board and/or military service
schools.
To earn CLEP credits on the general examination a student must obtain scores
at or above the thirty-fifth percentile to receive college credit.
To earn CLEP credit on the subject area examinations, a student must obtain
scores at or above the fiftieth percentile. In addition, a student may earn credit for
each AP Examination on which he achieves a score of three or higher.
Credit will be granted for military service schools and experience as recommend-
ed by the Commission on Accreditation of Service Experiences of the American Council
on Education.
Inquiries concerning test administration dates, validation of CLEP or AP scores
or other interpretation should be directed to the Admission or Comprehensive Counsel-
ing Offices of the College.
REGENT'S STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE
BEHAVIOR
The following is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disruptive behavior
in any institution of the University System. The rights, responsibilities and prohibi-
tions contained in this statement are incorporated as a part of these regulations.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reaffirms its policies
to support fully freedom of expression by each member of the academic community
and to preserve and protect the rights and freedoms of its faculty members to engage
in debate, decision, peaceful and nondisruptive protest and dissent. The following state-
ment relates specifically to the problem described below. It does not change or in any
way infringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in support of freedom
of expression and action. Rather it is considered necessary to combat the ultimate
effect of irresponsible disruptive and obstructive actions by students and faculty which
tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional structures through which it
operates.
In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college cam-
puses in the nation. Some students, faculty members, and others have on occasion
engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and deliberate-
ly interfered with the regular orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typical-
ly, these actions have been the physical occupation of a building or campus area for
a protracted period of time or the use of verbal or written obscenities involving inde-
cent or disorderly conduct.
27
These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for
discussions, persuasion, or even protest in that: (1) acquiescence to demands of the
demonstrations is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written direc-
tions of institutional officials to disperse have been clearly ignored. Such activities
thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operating outside all
established channels on the campus, including that of intellectual debate and persua-
sion which are at the heart of education.
The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the Con-
stitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings, and in keeping
with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the Board is ultimately
responsible for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the University System
and the preservations of academic freedom in these institutions. The Board cannot
and will not divest itself of this responsibility.
Of equal or even greater importance, such actions of force as had been described
above destroys the very essence of higher education. This essence is found in the
unhampered freedom to study, investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect
or issue of life. This freedom, which reaches its full flowering on college and universi-
ty campuses, is an essential part of American democracy, comparable to the jury system
or the electoral process.
For these reasons and in order to respond directly and specifically to this new
problem the Board of Regents, stipulates that any student, faculty member, ad-
ministrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly
obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any teaching, research, ad-
ministrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity authorized
to be discharged or held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is con-
sidered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irresponsibility and shall be
subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination of
employment.
The Board reaffirms its belief that all segments of the academic community are
under a strong obligation and have a mutual responsibility to protect the campus com-
munity from disorderly, disruptive, or obstructive actions which interfere with academic
pursuits or teaching, learning, and other campus activities.
The Board of Regents understands that this policy is consistent with resolutions
adopted by the American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Commit-
tee of the Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning actions taken
to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher education.
STUDENT LOAD
Under ordinary circumstances a student may enroll in courses up to but not in
excess of eighteen (18) quarter hours. Exceptions may be made for students who are
within two quarters of graduation, provided that total hours carried for credit do not
exceed twenty-one (21). Credit for an overload will not be granted, however, unless
it has been recommended by the students' advisor and approved by the Academic
Vice-President.
28
THE GRADING SYSTEM
The college uses letters to indicate quality of academic work. A is the highest grade;
D is the lowest passing grade. Grade distinctions and quality points values are:
Grade Meaning Quality Point Value
A Excellent 4 per credit hour
B Good 3 per credit hour
C Average 2 per credit hour
D Poor 1 per credit hour
F Failure per credit hour
WF Withdrew, failing per credit hour
The grade "F" indicates that the student has failed to meet the minimum re-
quirements of the course.
All courses in the major, minor, professional educational or freshman English in
which the grade of D is earned must be repeated. The grade of D, like higher grades,
can be raised only by repeating the course in which the D was earned.
The following grades also used, but are not included in the determination of the
grade of the grade point average.
I (Incomplete) This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work,
but for non-academic reasons beyond his control, was unable to meet the requirements
of the course. The student may remove the I by completing the remaining requirements
within three quarters of residence: otherwise the grade of I will be changed to the grade
of F by the Registrar. It is the student's responsibility to initiate the completion of
unfulfilled requirements with the instructor.
W (Withdrawal) This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to withdraw
without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after the mid-
point of the total grading period (including final examinations), except in cases of hard-
ship as determined by the Academic Vice-President.
29
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Academic Advisement
Each student at Savannah State College is assigned an advisor who has the respon-
sibility of assisting the student in planning and completing an appropriate academic
program. The Dean of the Academic School provides general direction to the advise-
ment program, with department heads coordinating activities within their respective
areas, assigning advisors to students majoring in the academic discipline(s) for which
division or department is responsible. The director of Developmental Studies assigns
advisors from his staff to those students who are undecided about the discipline in
which they will major. Each student is required to plan his or her academic program
with the advisor's assistance, and to obtain the advisor's approval of his schedule
of courses each Quarter. Each advisor has the responsibility of counseling with his
advisees about the appropriateness of the academic program they have selected as
well as the appropriateness of the schedules of courses selected by the advisee to the
timely completion of that program. In addition, the advisor has the responsibility of
monitoring the academic progress of his advisees, and of assisting them in evaluating
their progress and in making decisions about their present and future academic careers
based upon that evaluation.
Advisors of junior and senior students will concern themselves specifically with
the student's progress toward graduation, maintaining a continually updated record
of courses taken and grades received. The advisor will also assist his advisees in com-
pleting the Application for Graduation, and will certify to the Director of Admissions
and Records that all requirements had been met up to the time that the Application
was prepared.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
In classroom exercises and in laboratory and other class related activities, Savan-
nah State College endeavors to provide optimum conditions for student learning. Class
attendance is therefore required of all students in order to ensure that they will have
at least been exposed to the many opportunities that are provided for their benefit.
It is recognized, however, that extenuating circumstances may at times make it dif-
ficult for students to meet this requirement. The following exceptions are provided
to take care of such contingencies. Any student is allowed unexcused absences equal
to the number of credit hours that a particular course carries. In addition, excused
absences may be granted by the head of the department in which the student is ma-
joring, in circumstances involving personal illness or injury, or the illness or death
of a close relative. Students who exceed the allowable number of unexcused absences
in any course will receive the grade of F in that course.
In order to obtain a grade of W, the student must have withdrawn formally by
filing the appropriate forms with the Director of Admissions and Records, who in turn
will notify the instructor, listing the date on which the withdrawal occurred.
S (Satisfactory) This symbol indicates that credit has been given for comple-
tion of degree requirements other than course work. The use of this symbol is approved
for thesis hours, student teaching, clinical practicum, and internship.
U (Unsatisfactory) This indicates that an unsuccessful effort was made in one
of the above categories.
30
V (Audit) This symbol indicates that a student was given permission to audit
the course. Students may not transfer from audit to credit or vice versa.
K (Credit) This symbol indicates that a student was given credit for the course
via a credit by examination program approved by his department.
REPORTING OF GRADES
At Mid-quarter, and at the end of the quarter each faculty member submits to
the Office of the Registrar the Grade Reports for each of his classes. These Reports
are prepared in multiple copies, with copies for the Registrar, the Academic Vice-
President, the Department head, and the Instructor. In addition, each student receives
a Grade Report at the end of each quarter containing the grades and credit hours earned
in each course in which he was enrolled, his grade-point average for the quarter, and
his cumulative grade-point average.
Mid-quarter grade reports contain grades for students whose work in a course
is below the C level at mid-quarter. The Office of the Registrar sends copies of such
reports to the students, their parents or guardian(s), and to the department heads.
CHANGES IN GRADES
Once a grade has been reported to the Registrar it can be changed only under
the following conditions:
1 . Upon presentation to the Academic Vice-President of the College of conclusive,
documentary evidence that the grade was reported in error;
2. By following the procedure for removal of an I (incomplete) grade; or
3. Upon the recommendation by a committee appointed to conduct a hearing of
a student's challenge of a grade, and the acceptance of that recommendation
by the Vice President.
GRADE CHALLENGES BY STUDENTS
A student who feels that he has received an unfair grade in any course may
challenge that grade by writing a letter of appeal to the head of the department in
which the course was offered. Upon receipt of an appeal letter the department head
consults with the instructor, either with or without the student, in an effort to effect
a resolution. If a resolution satisfactory to the student is not effected, the department
head appoints a Review Committee (exclusive of both the department head and the
instructor). The Review Committee, after hearing both the instructor and the student,
submits its report and recommendation to the Academic Vice-President (through the
department head). If the Vice-President accepts the Review Committee's recommen-
dations that the grade be changed or if he reverses a recommendation that a grade
not be changed, he directs the Registrar to make the appropriate change on the stu-
dent's record.
31
CALCULATING THE CUMULATIVE AVERAGE
The cumulative grade point average will be calculated by dividing the number
of hours in all courses attempted in which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been
received into the number of grade points earned. The cumulative grade point average
will be recorded on the student's permanent record. Institutional credit shall in no
way affect the cumulative grade point average.
RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE IN
SCHOLARSHIP
Persons who have not been subject to disciplinary action while earning superior
grades, and who likewise, have not incurred any academic deficiencies, are eligible
for honors status as here indicated:
1. Students who maintain an average of B in not less than a normal load during
a given quarter are eligible for listing on the Honor Roll.
2. Students who maintain an average of 3.50 or higher, in a full program in a
quarter will have their names placed on the Dean's List for that quarter.
3. Students who maintain an average of 3.00 during any quarter may secure per-
mission to take additional hours during the following quarter, the total not
to exceed twenty hours. Additionally, students whose general average is 3.00
or better may be permitted to take quarter hours in excess of a normal load
up to a limit of 20 quarter hours.
GRADUATION HONORS
Graduation with honors is based upon completion of a minimum attendance period
of six quarters and completion of at least ninety hours at Savannah State College.
In addition, students who graduate with honors must attain the following grade-point
averages for the entire period of college attendance:
Cum Laude 3.00
Magna Cum Laude 3.40
Summa Cum Laude 3.75
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION
Savannah State College is operated for students who demonstrate seriousness of
purpose and ability and disposition to profit by college work. Students who fail to
fulfill the scholarship requirements of the institution are subject to scholastic discipline.
At the end of each quarter the Office of the Registrar computes cumulative grade-
point averages in order to determine the academic standing of all students in residence.
At that time the Registrar shall notify the Vice-President for Academic Affairs of
the College prior to notification of students and their parents or guardians of the
academic probation, suspension, or dismissal of students. In addition, he shall notify
other appropriate personnel of this action.
1. Any student who earns a D or F in English 107, 108, or 109 or in any course
required in his major or minor must repeat the course during the next quarter
that it is offered.
32
2. Stages of Progress Minimum Cumulative
Quarter Hours Grade Point Average
1-45 1.5
46-90 1.7
90-120 1.9
121 and above 2.0
A student whose cumulative grade point average at the end of any quarter
is at or above the minimum grade point average for his appropriate stage of
progress will be considered in good standing.
A student whose cumulative grade point average first falls below the minimum
grade point average for his stage of progress will then be placed on academic
warning.
A student on academic warning whose cumulative grade point average is not
raised to the satisfactory level for his stage of progress at the end of the quarter
will then be placed on academic probation.
A student who does not achieve the cumulative grade point average for his
stage of progress, but does maintain a 2.0 grade point average for his proba-
tionary quarter will be continued on probation for the next quarter of attendance.
A student who does not raise his grade point average to the minimum level
for his stage of progress or achieve a 2.0 grade point average during his proba-
tionary quarter will be suspended from the college for one quarter.
3. A student on probation (1) may not register for less than ten hours and not
more than thirteen hours; (2) must repeat all courses in which he earned the
grade of F that are prescribed in his curriculum and all courses in his major

WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE
Students at Savannah State College are regarded as young adults who are capable
of making mature decisions, with minimum counseling, about their educational plans.
Accordingly, any student who feels that the circumstances require his withdrawal from
the college may do so by filing the appropriate forms in the office of the Dean of
Students. The Dean of Students, counselors, and advisors will counsel with the stu-
dent in an effort to determine whether the circumstances are such that the College
can provide a remedy which will make it possible for the student to remain in school.
If such remedy cannot be afforded, the Dean of Students, or his designated represen-
tative, will formally approve the request for withdrawal and forward the appropriate
forms to the offices of the Academic Vice-President, the Director of Admissions and
Records, and the Comptroller.
Students not able to follow this procedure should write or have a representative
write to the Dean of Students, requesting permission to withdraw. Students who
withdraw without giving formal notice will forfeit claims for any refunds.
JOINT CONTINUING EDUCATION CENTER
The Joint Continuing Education Center was established in 1979 to combine the
resources of both Armstrong State College's Community Service Division and Savan-
nah State College's Extended Services Area. Utilizing a Downtown Center located
at 428 Bull Street, the Dean of the Joint Continuing Education Center operates a unified
Continuing Education program dedicated to serving the people of Savannah, Chatham
County, the State of Georgia and, for some programs, beyond those boundaries.
A wide variety of programs are offered at Armstrong State College, Savannah
State College, the Downtown Center and, when it is appropriate, at job sites, schools
community centers and other locations in Savannah. Instructors are drawn from the
faculties of both institutions, from qualified experts in the Savannah community and
from consultants throughout the region.
On the Savannah State campus, the Extended Services Area, under the Director
of Extended Services, is responsible for the coordination of all community service/con-
tinuing education activities. Since these activities are viewed as a college- wide func-
tion, responsibility for program development is shared with the various academic units
on campus. The major community service/continuing education components of the
college are the short-course/conference program, the federally-funded grant programs,
and the Correspondence Study Office.
SHORT-COURSE/CONFERENCE PROGRAM
The Short-course/conference Program offers non-credit courses; conferences,
seminars and workshops for the general public. Formal admission to the college is
not required.
Classes meet once or twice weekly during the college's regular quarter. The length
of a class meeting ranges from one hour to two hours. No A, B, C, grades are given,
but the S or U mark is given denoting a participant's satisfactory or unsatisfactory
completion of a course. Continuing Education Units are awarded participants who
successfully complete a course, and a record of enrollment is maintained.
34
FEDERALLY FUNDED GRANT PROGRAMS
A fundamental purpose of the Extended Services Area/Federally Funded Grant
Program component is to serve the needs of particular groups, including persons from
low-income families or academically unprepared individuals from the community who
require continued education, in both their career/vocational pursuit or personal develop-
ment. To accomplish this, programs and projects are designed, written and submit-
ted for federal funding.
Programs in Pre-Employment Guidance (Labor Market Orientation); Career/Voca-
tional Exploration (Project Discovery); Classroom Training and Remediation (Project
Explore); Vocational Exploration Classroom Training and Work Experience (Project
HIRE Helping Individuals Reach Employment); and Emergency School Assistance
Program (ESAA); have been funded during recent academic years.
The Division of Student Support and Special Programs, one of Extended Service
Programs, embraces the Upward Bound Program.
The Upward Bound Program seeks to help raise the academic and cultural levels
of eleventh and twelfth grade students who prepare themselves to pursue such work
successfully. The Upward Bound Project apprises them of educational opportunities
in the form of scholarships and other aids which are open to them.
CORRESPONDENCE STUDY
The Correspondence Program In addition to credit instruction on the campus,
Savannah State College is authorized to offer correspondence courses. Such courses
have become recognized sources for public education, reflecting a sense of obligation
to those who cannot undertake resident instruction and to those who do not require
resident instruction for personal growth and enrichment.
Students registering in correspondence study should meet the minimal re-
quirements of graduation from an accredited high school.
College correspondence study is designed as an auxiliary to regular campus
classroom and study materials and instructors are usually the same as those for resi-
dent instruction.
Courses completed in this program and courses completed in a similar program
at recognized institutions will be accepted for credit toward graduation at Savannah
State College under the following conditions:
1) Not more than 45 quarter hours may be earned in correspondence.
2) Not more than 50% of the required courses in the major or minor may be com-
pleted in correspondence.
3) Courses may not be taken in correspondence study to remove deficiencies earned
in residence.
4) Correspondence courses may not be taken by students who have completed 135
or more quarter hours
Students desiring to have correspondence credit counted toward graduation should
obtain written permission from the chief academic officer of the College and present
this statement to the Correspondence Study Office.
Information concerning courses, credit, fees, examinations, textbooks, etc., may
be obtained from: Correspondence Study Office, Savannah State college, Savannah,
Georgia 31404.

student only upon showing that he or she has been a legal resident of Georgia
for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding the date of
registration.
(b) No emancipated minor or person 18 years of age or older shall be deemed
to have gained or acquired in-state residence status for fee purposes while at-
tending any educational institution in this State, in the absence of a clear
demonstration that he or she has in fact established legal residence in this state.
2. If a person is under 18 years of age, he or she may register as a resident stu-
dent only upon showing that his or her supporting parent or guardian has been
a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve months immediately
preceding the date of registration.

and dependent children may register upon the payment of resident fees even
though he or she has not been a legal resident of Georgia for the preceding
twelve months.
4. Non-resident graduate students who hold teaching or research assistantships
requiring at least one-third time service may register as students in the institu-
tion in which they are employed on payment of resident fees.
5. Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their dependent children
may enroll as students in the University System institutions on the payment

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
"Each institution of the University System of Georgia shall assure the other in-
stitutions, and the system as a whole, that students obtaining a degree from that in-
stitution possess literacy competence, that is, certain minimum skills of reading and
writing."
"The Regents' Testing Program has been developed to help in the attainment of
this goal. The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to provide Systemwide infor-
mation on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing; and
(2) to provide a uhiform means of identifying those students who fail to attain the
minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing."
INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES
REGARDING THE REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
Students enrolled in degree programs are required by the University System to
successfully complete a test of competence in the areas of reading and writing standard
English.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Students who have completed forty-five (45 credit hours and passed English
107 and 108 are REQUIRED to take the test.
2. Students who have completed sixty (60) credit hours regardless to the English
courses passed MUST sit for the test.
a. First time examinees must take both parts of the Regents' Test; repeaters
who have not passed either part must also take both parts.
b. Students who pass both parts of the Test in one administration or in separate
administrations will be considered to have met the Regents' Examination
requirements.
c. Those students who, prior to January 1, 1980, failed to pass both parts of
the Test in one administration but who passed both parts in separate ad-
ministrations are now to be considered as having met the Regents' Examina-
tion Requirement. If they have completed all other graduation requirements,
their date of graduation, (the date which will appear on the diploma), will
be the first institutional graduation date after January 1, 1980.
3. A student with less than forty-five (45) credit hours may take the test after
he/she has completed the basic core of English courses (English 107, 108, and
109).
REMEDIATION FOR REGENTS EXAMINATION
Students who have not passed the Regents' Test before they acquire seventy-five
(75) hours of degree credits must enroll in English 092 (Writing) and/or English 093
(Reading). While remediating, a student may not take more than ten (10) regular credit
quarter hours.
44
The student must remediate each quarter that he/she is enrolled until both parts
of the Regents' Test are passed. Students enrolled in remedial courses will be allowed
to take the Regents' Test when they have satisfied the instructor of reasonable com-
petency. When both parts of the test are failed, both parts must be remediated at
the same time.
In addition, students enrolled in 092 (Writing), must demonstrate a mastery of
writing skills at a level sufficient to be recommended by the English Department as
being ready to sit for the Regents' Test again. Grades for 092 and 093 will be
SATISFACTORY (S) or UNSATISFACTORY (U). No other grade will be given for
either course.
EXCEPTION TO THE ABOVE: If a student has acquired the necessary hours
of degree credit and has not completed the English sequence (107, 108, and 109), and
has not passed the exam, must complete the English sequence before being permit-
ted to sit again. The remediation process commences thereafter.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students are responsible for complying with this policy. Failure to comply will
result in disciplinary action ranging from warning to suspension, depending on the
gravity of the situation.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic Advisors should verify compliance with this policy before signing-off
on class schedule of their respective advisees. Accordingly, Academic Advisors should:
1. Encourage but not require students to sit for the Regents' Test upon the com-
pletion of English 107, 108, and 109 with less than 45 credit hours. (There is
a tendency for students to perform better when test is taken immediately after
completing English sequence).
2. Assure that advisees adhere to policy regarding required sitting and remedia-
tion for the test. (See Requirements and Remediation). The advisee who sits
for the Regents' Test and pre-registers during a given quarter, will complete
two class schedules, one for a regular load and one for a remedial load consisting
of not more than ten (10) regular credit hours. Upon confirmation of Regents'
Test results, the appropriate schedule will be used. The schedules will be held
in Registrar's Office.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
All transfer students from within the System shall be subject to all provisions
of this policy. Students from institutions outside the System who transfer to Savan-
nah State College with 60 or more degree credit hours shall take the Test during the
initial quarter of enrollment and in subsequent quarters shall be subject to all provi-
sions of this policy.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
Students whose native language is other than English may be exempted from tak-
ing the Regents' Test; however, such students must take the Savannah State College
English Competency test for Foreign Students in lieu of the Regents' Test. Such
students are subject to all of the provisions of this policy regarding eligibility and
remediation.
45
HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
Students with legal visual, auditory, or motor handicaps may arrange for local
certification of competency with the Regents' Test Coordinator.

The Regents' Test itself and the scoring criteria are not subject to review; the
same method of scoring will be used during the review process as that in the original
scoring. Scoring will follow the normal holistic procedure.
1. A student may request a formal review of his failure on the essay compo-
nent of the Regents' Test if that student's essay received at least one passing
score among the three score awarded and if the student has completed English
107, 108, and 109.
2. A student must initiate the review procedure by mid-term of his first quarter
of enrollment after the quarter in which the essay was failed. The review must
be initiated, however, within one calendar year from the quarter in which the
failure occurred.
3. The review will be initiated at Savannah State College by the student's com-
pleting a "Request for Review" form available at the Office of the Regents'
Test Coordinator. The Regents' Test Coordinator will determine the student's
eligibility based upon the criteria in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. The review,
if warranted, will be conducted by a three-member panel (composed of two
English instructors and one additional person) appointed by the Vice-President
of the College and designated as the on-campus review panel.
4. The on-campus review panel may (1) sustain, by majority opinion, the essay's
failing score, thus terminating the review process, or (2) recommend, by ma-
jority opinion, the re-scoring of the essay by the Regents' Testing Program
central office. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify the student of the
results of the on-campus review.
5. If the on-campus review panel recommends re-scoring of the essay, the Regents'
Test Coordinator will transmit that recommendation in writing along with a
copy of the essay, to the Office of the System's Director of the Regents' Testing
Program.
The System's Director will utilize the services of three (3) experienced Regents'
essay scorers other than those involved in the original scoring. The decision
of this panel on the merits of the essay will be final, thus terminating the review
process. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify the student of the results
of the review.
6. All the applicable regulations of the Regents' Test Policy remain in effect for
those students whose essays are under review, including those regulations
relating to remediation and to retaking the Test.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES FOR
THE REGENTS' EXAM
The registration procedures for taking the test at appropriate administrations will
be disseminated from the Office of the Regents' Test Coordinator quarterly. Since
examinations must be ordered from Atlanta, we must adhere to cut-off dates. Therefore
campus cut-off dates must be established and followed. Students should counsel con-
stantly with their academic advisors regarding their status on the Regents' Examina-
tion. Specific questions may also be directed to the Regents' Test Coordinator.

FINANCIAL AID
Federal Financial Aid Programs
(Title IV Programs)
If you are enrolled or accepted for enrollment at Savannah State College and are
a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, you are eligible to apply for
assistance under these programs. Remember grants are gifts but loans must be repaid.
A. Pell Grant you may apply for a Basic Grant if you are an undergraduate
on at least a half-time basis in a program of study which is six months in length
or longer. Basic Grants range from $50 to $1600, depending on your eligibili-
ty as determined by a standard formula. The formula uses the information
you provide on your application to produce an eligibility index number. The
index number is not a dollar figure but is used, along with the total cost of
attending Savannah State College, and your enrollment status, to determine
the actual amount of your grant. Basic Grants is an entitlement program, it
means that all students who are eligible will receive Basic Grant awards.
1. Basic Grants will be paid through SSC. Your eligibility and the actual
amount of your aid are determined of the Office of Education. The finan-
cial aid officer cannot make any adjustments in your award beyond those
required by the Government.
2. Your eligibility for a Basic Grant does not directly affect your eligibility
for any other aid. However, SSC requires you to apply for a Basic Grant
before you can be considered for other aid.
B. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) are for students of
exceptional financial need who without the grant would be unable to continue
their education. You are eligible to apply if you are enrolled at least half-time
as an undergraduate student. If you receive an SEOG, it cannot be less than
$200 or more than $1500 a year. Normally, an SEOG may be received for up
to four years, the total that may be awarded is $4000 for a four-year course
of study. If you are selected for an SEOG, SSC must provide you with ad-
ditional assistance at least equal to the amount of the grant. (This is a match-
ing grant)
C. College Work Study (CWS) provides jobs for students who need financial
aid and who must earn a part of their educational expenses. You may apply
if you enrolled at least half-time as a graduate or undergraduate student. SSC
arranges jobs-on-campus or off -campus with a public or private non-profit agen-
cy. If you are found to be eligible you may be employed for as many as 40
hours a week. In arranging a job and determining how many hours a week
you may work under this program, the financial aid officer will take into ac-
count (a) your need for financial assistance; (b) your class schedule; (c) your
health and academic progress.
In general your salary will be based on the current minimum wage, but
will also be related to the type of work you do and the proficiency required
of you.
48
D. National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) the NDSL Program is for students
who are enrolled at least half-time and who need a loan to meet their educa-
tional expenses. You may borrow up to a total of: (a) $2500 if you have com-
pleted less than two years of a program leading to a Bachelor's degree; (b) $5000
if you are an undergraduate student who had already completed two years of
study toward a Bachelor's degree (this total already includes any amount you
borrowed under NDSL for your first two years of study); (c) $10,000 for
graduate study (this total includes any amount you borrowed under NDSL
for your undergraduate study)
Repayment begins nine months after you graduate or leave school for other
reasons. You may be allowed up to ten years to pay back the loan. During
the repayment period you will be charged 3 per cent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principle.
No payments are required for up to three years if you serve in the Armed
Forces, Peace Corps, or VISTA. The financial aid officer can tell you about
loan collection provisions for borrowers who enter fields of teaching, or who
teach in designated schools.
E. Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) enable you to borrow directly from a bank,
credit union, savings and loan association or other participating lender which
is willing to make the loan. The loan is guaranteed by a state or private non-
profit agency or insured by the Federal Government. The maximum you can
borrow as an undergraduate is $2500 a year. A graduate student may borrow
up to $5000 a year. The interest rate on these loans is 7 per cent. The total
amount outstanding that you may borrow for undergraduate study is $7500.
Most students are eligible for Federal interest benefits. If you qualify for
these benefits, the Federal Government will pay the interest for you until you
begin repaying the loan, and during authorized periods of deferment.

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Student Affairs
The Dean of Students at Savannah State College is responsible to the President
for the over-all administration of Student Affairs. Staff members share with the Dean
of Students the administration of the Student Affairs program.
In the broadest sense, the Student Affairs program is concerned first with the
life of the student outside the classroom. This definition, however, is inadequate as
every person involved in student personnel work at the College, as is true of the facul-
ty and other administrative officers, is deeply interested in the academic work of our
students. The intellectual development of the student is and must continue to be the
primary objective of Savannah State College.
The undergirding principle of the program at Savannah State College is that there
is a different type of student on the campus today who is living in a very different
type of world from his predecessors. The differences brought on by cultural, religious
and technological revolutions dictate new and fresh ways that must be discovered
to meet the needs of the students. Students must now be helped to develop the area
of living rather than just the business of living. Therefore, any keen observer can discern
immediately that at Savannah State College more and more efforts are being made
to help the student not only "do something" but to be someone to be more socially
responsible to his community, culture and world. This is part of the great and impor-
tant work of Student Affairs.
There is no one best program in comparison to others. Student Affairs is no bet-
ter or no worse than its ability to recognize and welcome individual differences in
students and its ability to get the full cooperation and input from the institution's
administration, faculty, and staff.
RESIDENCE LIFE
There are six dormitories and one apartment building operated for students at
Savannah State. These structures offer a cross section of facilities, services, and pro-
grams. Fees and qualifications for residency in the apartment building are different
from those for the dormitories. Assignment to living areas is based on sex and classifica-
tion. Additional criteria are used for apartment residency. Expectant mothers are not
allowed to remain in dormitories.
Residence on campus complements classroom instruction. Educational, as well
as recreational and cultural, programs are available in the residence halls. There are
certain regulations in place to insure that the living/learning processes of students
are not unduly interfered with. Such regulations can be found in this catalog and
publications distributed by the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Housing.
53
The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia require
that all campus residential units for students be filled before students are permitted
to live off -campus. All students below the senior year (135 quarter hours) are required
to live on campus, unless a condition below exists:
a. A student is married and furnishes proof thereof;
b. A student's parents are residents of Chatham County;
c. A student commutes from a neighboring county that is within a 50 mile radius
of the College;
d. A student is a legal resident of Chatham county;
e. A student (handicapped, expectant mother) with special housing needs.
All students are requried to apply for housing at the beginning of the academic
year, summer school, and any quarter that is proceeded by a break in continued
residence. A room reservation/damage/key deposit is also required. Students are ex-
pected to formally clear housing at the end of Spring and Summer Quarters, and any
other quarter if they do not plan to return or graduate. Dormitory directors will sign
the appropriate clearance form for students.
Room assignments are made for the academic year. Freshmen students live
together, with the exception of student-athletes and other students by permission of
the Dean for Student Affairs. In the event that an occupant of a double room moves
out, the remaining student will be assigned another roommate, pay a higher rate, or
be assigned to another room.
Students who are required to live in dormitories are also required to purchase a
meal plan. Students who have diets prescribed by physicians may be exempted, if the
College Cafeteria is unable to prepare the diet meals. Hot plates and other cooking
devices are prohibited. If found in rooms, they will be confiscated and the owner charged
a penalty fee of $25.00
54
Freshman Orientation
GED 101. Student Life
This course is designed to expose all freshman students to a series of group and in-
dividualized experiences that emphasize the processes of goal-setting, self-assessment,
change strategies and evaluation. Through instruction and consultation, students are
encouraged to direct their own development by acquiring appropriate life skills. This
two-hour class includes units of instruction that cover; knowing your college, strategies
for academic success (study skills, time management), values clarification and self-
concept development, test-taking skills, academic planning and career exploration.
Two quarter credit hours. All quarters.
Student Conduct
Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all times to ex-
emplify due respect for order, morality, and the rights of others.
The College reserves the right to exclude at any time any student whose conduct
is deemed improper or prejudicial to the welfare of the college community.
Counseling Service
The Comprehensive Counseling Center (CCC) offers professional counseling ser-
vices to all prospective and regularly enrolled students at Savannah State College.
The services offered include academic, personal, social and career counseling as well
as an array of test information and interpretive data. These services can be provided
in an individual or group setting.
The professional staff consists of the director, four staff counselors, and a compe-
tent group of peer counselors. The peer counselors provide an opportunity for student-
to-student counseling and they render tutorial assistance to students experiencing
academic difficulties.
The entire staff operates with the basic understanding that there are some stu-
dent oriented concerns that extend beyond the scope of their personal resources or
areas of expertise. With this in mind, a strong and expansive referral service has been
established with other campus based programs and community agencies. Referral made
by the staff even to another campus program or office, are made only with the ap-
proval of the counselee involved in the given situation.
The staff invites you to visit them to share your experiences, concerns and im-
pressions so that you can decide in what way they can benefit you most. A student
desirous of visiting the counseling center may come in, with or without an appoint-
ment. If you wish to drop in without advance arrangements, you usually will have
to wait only a short time while the secretary arranges for a counselor to meet with you.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Counseling
is confidential and free to students. The center is located on the second floor of the
King-Frazier Student Center.
55
Orientation
The orientation program is under the suervision of the Comprehensive Counsel-
ing Center, it is designed to assist new students in becoming acquainted with other
students, with college regulations, with routine procedures, with campus traditions,
with the opportunities offered for training here, and with specialized vocational
guidance. This program concentrates on all freshmen and new students entering the
College in the first week of the fall quarter. Students derive from the program their
immediate informational needs.
A follow-up course dealing with the psychology of human relationships, required
of freshmen and transfer students, is designed to facilitate the process of total ad-
justment to college and to guide the student's thinking in reference to the social forces
that affect him daily.
College Testing Program
Savannah State College is a national testing center. Several tests are required
at the college and some are optional.
The Scholarship Aptitude Test (SAT) is required of all students who expect to
enroll at the institution. Entrants scoring less than 750 on the SAT are required to
sit for the Basic Skills Examination (BSE). The BSE is a placement test for Reading,
English, and Mathematics. The results determine whether the student enters as a
freshman or as a Special Studies (remedial) student.
The Regents Language Skills Examination is required after completing 45 quarter
hours (including English 107, 108, and 109) and before completing 75 quarter hours.
Passing this examination determines whether a student may routinely pursue his
degree.
There are routine classroom examinations and the Office of Testing provides in-
terest, aptitude, personality, and vocational instruments for counseling purposes. Exit
examinations are required in some areas.
Other tests administered at the college are:
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), Law School Admission Test
(LSAT), Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Scholarship Aptitude Test (SAT),
National Teacher Examination (NTE), College Level Examination Program (CLEP),
and Miller Analogies Test (MAT).
Health Services
The college health services are maintained to improve and safeguard the health
of students. These services are under the direct supervision of the school physician
and school nurse. Medical examinations, medical care, and health consultations are
provided for all students. Harris Infirmary, a modern, eighteen-bed building, is pro-
vided for students who require treatment or confinement for minor illness.
Students who are too ill to attend class must report to the Health Service or ob-
tain the services of a private physician. Under no circumstances will students be per-
mitted to remain in the college residence halls. Any illness in the residence halls should
be reported to the Health Service immediately.
56
Armstrong State College students who are in residence halls on the Savannah
State College campus are required to pay the health fee.
Each student is urged to take our hospital insurance at the Comptroller's Office
so as to be covered in case of emergencies or the need for hosptial treatment. The
escalating high cost of hospital and emergency room fees makes this almost mandatory.
Each student is directly responsible for his hospital or emergency room fees. The col-
lege health fee does not include these services.
Employees will be treated at the Infirmary for emergencies only.
Policy on Drugs and Weapons
The possession or use (without valid medical or dental prescription), manufacture,
furnishing, or sale of any narcotic or dangerous drug controlled by federal or Georgia
law is prohibited. Violators are subject to arrest and prosecution by College and/or
local, state, and federal courts. It is against College rules and regulations for any stu-
dent to possess weapons such as knives, guns, blackjacks, etc. Persons found in posses-
sion of weapons will be subject to disciplinary action by the College and/or local courts.
Religious Life
Savannah State Colelge puts great emphasis upon a rich and varied religious life
program. Through its religious activities, the College seeks to develop an understand-
ing of and an appreciation for the place of religion in everyday living, to deepen spiritual
insight, and to make the practice of religious principles a vital part of the life of the
well educated citizen.
Student Financial Aid
Savannah State College offers aid to students who demonstrate financial need.
However, financing an education should be a combined effort on the part of the parents,
students, State and Federal Government and the College. The College administers
limited scholarships, grants-in-aid, loans, and work opportunities, awarded largely on
the basis of need, scholarship, character and general promise. Preference is given to
students who use their time wisely in scholastic and extra-curricular pursuits.
Students who have not completed their applications for financial aid prior to
registration for any given quarter will not be eligible for consideration for financial
assistance until all materials have been processed and need for financial assistance
determined. The deadline for submitting all financial aid forms for any given Fall
Quarter is August 18th. All college work-study students are required to have a
cumulative average of 2.00 to remain on campus college work-study. Those students
who fail to do so and are on probation will have to support their own education or
pay their own fees for one quarter until their grade point average is raised to 2.00.
Application for student Financial Aid should be made through the Office of the
Director of Financial Aid.
College Placement Service
The College Placement Service assists all students and graduates of Savannah
State College. For the graduates the College Placement Service helps in finding full-
time and permanent employment. Regular students are assisted in finding part-time
employment for summer months. This office attempts to maintain contact with all
agencies which will benefit the students of Savannah State College. The Office of Place-
ment is located in King-Frazier Complex, Room 225.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
M.B.A. PROGRAM
PURPOSE
The philosophical base of the Master of Business Administration Program is an
affirmation of the dignity and worth of the individual. Implicit in this philosophy is
a realization that modern man must be productive, articulate, and proactive. The Pro-
gram is dedicated to service through: educational programs, community involvement,
faculty and student research, scholarship, and creativity. By offering advanced pro-
fessional training in management and administration, the Program prepares individuals
for positions of responsibility in business, industry, government, and education.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Admission to the MBA Program at Savannah State College may be completed
through the MBA Coordinator, School of Business, Savannah State College. All ad-
missions documents should be sent to the MBA Coordinator's Office for processing.
The application for admission, a $10 fee, and transcripts must reach the College 20
days prior to registration.
The following materials and procedures are part of the requirements for admis-
sion to the MBA Program:
1. The application for admission must be completed and submitted by all ap-
plicants 20 days prior to registration.
2. Two official transcripts showing all college credits earned for the undergraduate
degree should be sent directly from the college which awarded the degree to the MBA
Coordinator. Official transcripts are required of all applicants except transient students
who may submit a letter of authorization from their graduate school 20 days prior
to registration.
3. Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores must be submitted by
all degree-seeking students.
4. Two letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the applicant's
ability to successfully complete the graduate program must be submitted.
5. A $10 application fee is required of all students, except graduates of Savan-
nah State College.
Advisement on transfer of credits is routinely provided on the Program of Study
form which every degree-seeking student (regular or provisional status) must com-
plete with an adviser in the first quarter of enrollment. Formal approval of transfer
credits is granted via the student's Application for Candidacy which requires approval
by the student's adviser and the MBA Coordinator.
76
M.B.A. PROGRAM
All materials and documents should be submitted as soon as possible, but items
as noted above must arrive at least 20 days prior to the registration date of the quarter
a student enrolls. Action can be taken on application for admission only after essen-
tial materials have been received.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All applicants for admission to the MBA Program are required to take the Graduate
Management Admissions Test (GMAT). This test is administered at Savannah State
College and at other testing centers once each quarter. The test is designed to measure
aptitude for graduate study in business and is not a measure of knowledge in specific
subjects. Therefore, applicants should not delay taking this examination simply because
they have not had specific course work in business. The information bulletin describ-
ing the test is available from the MBA Coordinator's Office.
CATEGORIES OF ADMISSION
Regular Admission
(A Degree Status Classification)
Definition
Regular Admission means that a student has met all admission requirements and
is admitted to a degree program with full graduate status.
Requirements
To qualify for admission to full graduate status in the MBA Program, applicants
must show competence in the common business core of knowledge, which requires
a basic understanding of accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, and
statistics. Students who have received a bachelor's degree in business generally have
fulfilled this requirement, but students with degrees in other disciplines will need
preparatory work in these areas before beginning MBA course work. The preparatory
requirements may be met by satisfactory completion of not less than one course
(equivalent to 5 quarter hours or 3 semester hours) in each of the following areas:
Accounting (Principles, Managerial, or Cost)
Economics (Micro or Macro Principles)
Finance (Business, Corporate, or Managerial)
Management (Principles)
Marketing (Principles)
Statistics (Elements of)
Normally, 30 hours of preparatory work will be the maximum required, but
students should recognize that one course in accounting and one course in economics
will provide only a minimum level of preparation for graduate course work. Depen-
ding upon individual student interest and need, further preparation in business prin-
ciples courses may be advisable.
These preparatory requirements may be satisfied by taking appropriate 500-level
courses, by correspondence, or by scoring not less than the fiftieth percentile on the
appropriate subject examination(s) of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
The CLEP examinations are available through the testing services of the College.
77
In addition to appropriate preparatory work, regular admission status requires
that the student's GMAT score be equal to, or greater than, that computed from the
following formula:
GMAT = 700 - 100(GPA)
with the further stipulation that the GPA must be at least 2.5 and the GMAT at least
425.
PROVISIONAL ADMISSION
(A Degree Status Classification)
Definition
Provisional Admission means that a student has applied for admission to a degree
program and has some condition affecting his/her status, such as preparatory course
work, low grade point average, or GMAT scores. The student is admitted to a degree
program but must meet certain conditions before achieving full graduate status (i.e.,
Regular Admission).
Requirements
Provisional Admission may be given to a limited number of applicants (no more
than 20%) who fail to meet the admission standards for Regular Admission but, never-
theless, present evidence of a reasonable prospect of success in the Program.
In addition to appropriate preparatory work, provisional admission status requires
that the student's GMAT score be equal to, or greater than, that computed from the
following formula:
GMAT = 645 - 100 (GPA)
with the further stipulation that the GPA must be at least 2.2, and the GMAT must
be at least 375.
Upon completion of 25 hours of graduate course work with a "B" average, the
student's Provisional Admission status will be changed to Regular Admission, pro-
viding all other requirements for Admission have been satisfied.
Failure to maintain a "B" average in the first 25 hours of graduate work will result
in the applicant's being dropped as a degree- seeking student.
POSTBACCALAUREATE AND POSTGRADUATE ADMISSION
(Special Admission Nondegree or Pre-MBA Status)
Definition
Postbaccalaureate or Postgraduate Admission is provided for students who may
not wish to pursue a graduate degree or have applied for admission to the MBA Pro-
gram but have not met provisional requirements; i.e., GMAT scores, transcripts, let-
ters of recommendation, and prerequisites.
Requirements
Requirements for Postbaccalaureate Admission include documentary evidence of
a baccalaureate degree and submission of necessary application papers. The student
may also have to meet prescribed prerequisites to enroll in specific courses.
Postgraduate Admission requirements are the same except that a graduate degree
is required.
78
No more than 10 hours earned as a Postgraduate or Postbaccalaureate student
may be applied toward an MBA degree.
A student admitted on nondegree status who wishes to be advanced to a degree
status category of admission bears the responsibility for:
1. meeting all requirements for degree status which are in effect at the time the
student submits the required data and documents for degree status:
2. notifying the MBA Coordinator in writing of the intent and desire to advance
to degree status.
Action by the Coordinator to advance a nondegree student to a degree status
category is contingent on the student meeting the above responsibilities, and the stu-
dent is cautioned to maintain a careful check on his or her status.
Stipulations and problems related to the pursuit of graduate study in the business
administration courses are such that students should meet those conditions identified
above under either the Regular or the Provisional Admission categories in order to
enroll in any 600-level MBA courses. Therefore, Postbaccalaureate or Postgraduate
Admission offers little or no opportunity for graduate study in business administra-
tion and is granted to MBA students primarily to identify applicants who have not
yet submitted a satisfactory GMAT score, a satisfactory GPA, or have not completed
the preparatory courses.
TRANSIENT STUDENT
(Special Nondegree Status)
Transient students must arrange to have written authorization sent to the Dean
from their dean, department head, or registrar at the graduate school in which they
are enrolled in order to be accepted as a transient student and register in the MBA
Program. They must also submit the application for admission and the $10 fee as
described in Admission Procedures. If they wish to become degree-seeking students,
they must request appropriate admission in writing and must submit the necessary
documents.
READMISSION
Any student in the Graduate Program who did not register during the quarter
immediately preceding the quarter he/she intends to reenroll must process a readmis-
sion form with the Registrar's Office. The only students exempted from this require-
ment are those who are initially admitted for graduate study.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
The student is charged with the responsibility for taking the initiative in meeting
all academic requirements and in maintaining a careful check on his/her progress toward
earning a degree. The student is responsible for discharging his/her obligations to the
business office and the library. Further, the student is responsible for adhering to the
rules and regulations pertaining to graduate students in particular and to all students
enrolled in a unit of the University System of Georgia.
79
TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDITS
A maximum of 25 percent (15 quarter hours) of graduate credit may be transferred
from another institution, provided:
1. each course equates with a course in the curriculum of the MBA Program or
is an acceptable elective;
2. the credit was earned in an accredited graduate program;
3. a grade of "B" or better was earned in each course;
4. the credit was earned no more than six years prior to completion of all degree
requirements.
PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING TRANSFER CREDITS
Requests by students to receive transfer graduate credit must be supported by
two copies of the graduate transcript showing the transfer credits requested. The for-
mal and final request for receiving transfer credits is part of the Application for
Candidacy which the student must possess upon the completion of 25 hours of graduate
work. This application is obtained in the MBA Coordinator's office. Advisement on
transfer of credits is routinely provided on the program of study form which every
degree seeking student (regular or provisional status) must complete with an adviser
in the first quarter of enrollment. Formal approval of transfer credits is granted via
the student's application for candidacy which requires approval by the student's ad-
viser and the MBA Coordinator.
80
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Any student who falls below a 3.0 average shall be on academic probation.
Any student who is admitted to Provisional Admission status and who does not
achieve a 3.0 average or better upon completing 25 hours of 600-level courses shall
be dropped as a degree student and be placed on nondegree status. Any Regular Ad-
mission student who has less than a 3.0 average after completing 25 or more hours
shall be required to achieve grades of "B" or better in all courses in order to achieve
a 3.0 average to return to Regular Admission status. Any student on "regular
admission-probation status" who earns less than a "B" in any course or who ac-
cumulates 75 hours while still on this status shall be dropped as a degree student and
shall be placed on nondegree status.
COURSE LOAD LIMITATION
A full-time graduate student is expected to carry no more than 15 hours per quarter.
The course load for the fully employed student should be appropriately reduced in
consultation with his/her adviser. A student on academic probation or on Provisional
Admission status should carefully plan his/her course load in consultation with the
adviser.
WITHDRAWAL, DROPPING, AND ADDING COURSES
Withdrawal is, in the technical sense, dropping all courses and processing a for-
mal withdrawal through the Office of the MBA Coordinator which issues a withdrawal
form. A student may withdraw from school at any time during the quarter. Only by
formally withdrawing, however, can a student become eligible for the refund of fees
as explained in the College Catalog. The student bears the responsibility of contact-
ing the Coordinator's Office to officially drop a course and obtain the signature of
his/her professor. Course withdrawals before midterm are recorded as "W"; any course
withdrawals after midterm are "F."
Adding a course may be accomplished through the Registrar's Office which will
process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only during the late registration days
at the beginning of the quarter and not any other time during the quarter. The stu-
dent must pay the appropriate fee for the additional course, unless a course comparable
in credit hours is being dropped simultaneously.
ADVISEMENT
Upon admission to the graduate program, each student will be assigned a faculty
adviser. The faculty adviser will approve the scheduling of course work, recommend
the student for candidacy, and serve as chairman of the student's comprehensive ex-
amination committee.

of Master of Business Administration. The final examination will be conducted by
a committee consisting of the student's faculty adviser as chairman and other members
of the graduate faculty appointed by the MBA Coordinator. The date, time, and place
of the examination will be set by the Coordinator after consultation with the faculty
adviser and the student.
The Coordinator shall notify the student, the Committee members, and the Dean
ten days prior to the examination concerning the proposed place, date, and time of

The Department of Humanities and Fine Arts offers courses leading to the bac-
calaureate degree in three areas: English language and literature, mass communica-
tions, and music. Minor programs in English, mass communications, music, religious
and philosophical studies, French, German, Spanish, and art are available. The Depart-
ment promotes an extensive, interdisciplinary approach that encourages investiga-
tions in cognate areas and allows for individualization of interests and pursuits.
In a world of rapidly increasing technological sophistication, the urgent issues
confronting individuals and societies are issues of human values and the relationships
between what human beings can do and what they ought, or ought not, to do. The
ultimate aim of the Department of Humanities and Fine Arts is to develop in each
student an awareness and appreciation of his/her personal identity and social heritage.
Such awareness and appreciation should cultivate in the student a quality of mind
marked by analytical, constructive, imaginative, and creative inquiry and thought.
To foster the development of such intellectual and humane capabilities, the Depart-
ment helps the student by promoting: (1) oral and written proficiency in English, in-
cluding an appreciation for linguistic plurality; (2) critical knowledge and consequent
appreciation of the literary, performing, and visual arts; (3) affective, aesthetic, and
intellectual flexibility; (4) analytical awareness of language uses in varied settings;
(5) advocacy of humane spirit and values; and a spirit of cooperation with community
persons and groups working toward similar humanistic and social goals.
The Department of Humanities and Fine Arts provides opportunities for the study
and analysis of language, literature, art, music, mass media, philosophy, and religion.
These studies and analyses are intended to motivate the student to acquire a more
profound understanding and appreciation of the humane spirit, to enliven imagina-
tion and inventiveness, to expand aesthetic horizons, and to probe and cultivate in-
dividual and social identity. Additionally, the Department encourages the student to
utilize resources and opportunities of the proximate urban area as well as to share
with it his/her interests, talents, and achievement. The student engaging in these ac-
tivities and accompolishing these purposes may be expected to become an intellec-
tually aware, sensitive, flexible, effective citizen, equipped to contribute to society
through the maintenance of humane perspectives and values.

Ms. Almera King, Secretary
General
The Department of Military Science is a Senior Division Reserve Officer Train-
ing Corps (ROTC), Instructor Group, staffed by Active Army Personnel. The depart-
ment provides a curriculum available to Savannah State that qualifies the college
graduate for a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army, United States Army Reserve,
or the United States Army National Guard. Qualifying for a commission adds an ex-
tra dimension to the student's employment capability in that, upon graduation from
college, the student has either military or civilian employment option. Enrollment is
open to male or female students of Savannah State.
The Reserve Officer Training Corps program is designed to develop leadership
qualities and to give students an understanding of the Armed Forces and how they
support the national policies and interest of the United States. In particular, ROTC
programs are charged with the mission of commissioning second lieutenants who have
the qualities, attributes and educational credentials essential for service as junior of-
ficers in the Army.
Department of Military Science
The course of study offered in military science is designed not only to prepare
both the male and female student for service as a commissioned officer in the United
States Army but also to provide him with knowledge and practical experience in leader-
ship and management that will be useful in any facet of society. Male and female
students are eligible for enrollment. Each student is provided with a working knowledge
of the organization and functioning of the Department of Defense and the role of the
U.S. Army in the national security and world affairs.
The course of study pursued by students during their freshman and sophomore
years is the basic military science course and/or related skill activities. The course
of study normally pursued by students during their junior and senior years is the ad-
vanced military science course.
For selection and retention in the advanced course, a student must be physically
qualified, should have maintained above average military and academic standing, and
must demonstrate a potential for further leadership development.
Graduates of the advanced course are commissioned second lieutenants in the
United States Army Reserve in the branch of service most appropriate to their in-
terests and academic achievements, consistent with the needs of the Army. The branch-
es of the Army include not only the vital combat arms, but such supporting technical
fields as signal, ordnance, transportation, finance, legal, engineering, chemical and
medical. Regardless of the branch selected, all officers will receive valuable experience
in management, logistics and administration. Advanced course graduates will be com-
missioned and either called to active duty after graduation to serve for a period of
three to six months or three years depending on the prevailing military requirements
and circumstances. Graduates may be granted a delay in reporting for active duty
for graduate study. A small number of outstanding students are designated distin-
guished military graduates and are offered commissions in the Regular Army each year.
217
Basic Military Service
Basic military science courses involve six quarters during the freshman and
sophomore years. The student learns the organization and roles of the U.S. Army and
acquires essential background knowledge of customs and traditions, weapons, map
reading, tactics and communications. Equally important, these courses have the ob-
jective of developing the student's leadership, self-discipline, integrity and sense of
responsibility.
Placement
Veterans entering the military science programs will receive appropriate place-
ment credit for their active military service. Students who have completed military
science courses in military preparatory schools or junior colleges may be given ap-
propriate credit. Students with at least three years of high school ROTC may also
be granted placement credit. Placement credit or six quarters of basic military science,
or the equivalent thereof, is a prerequisite to admission into the advanced program.
Advanced Military Science
The general objective of this course of instruction is to produce junior officers
who by education, training, attitude and inherent qualities are suitable for continued
development as officers in the Army. There are two avenues available for the student
to be eligible for entry into the advanced program and obtain a commission as a sec-
ond lieutenant:
(a) satisfactory completion of, or placement credit for, the basic program at Savan-
nah State or at any other school, college or university offering basic ROTC
and meeting the entrance and retention requirements established by the Army.
(b) be an active duty veteran or junior ROTC cadet graduate eligible for place-
ment credit.
Alternate Programs for Admittance to Advanced Military Science
Students with two years of coursework remaining, but who have not completed
basic military science, are eligible to be considered for selection into the advanced
military science program. Those selected under the provisions of the two-year advanced
program must satisfactorily complete a basic summer camp of six weeks duration prior
to entering the advanced program or must enroll in the condensed summer school phase
of the basic course. This latter program consists of six, two-hour courses given dur-
ing the summer quarter. A student may take other courses during this session. Upon
successful completion of the military science courses, they will be placed in the ad-
vanced course. Students attending the basic camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are paid
at active army rates and given a travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
Advanced Summer Camp
Students contracting to pursue the advanced courses are required to attend ad-
vanced summer camp, normally between their junior and senior academic years at
Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Students attending this camp are paid at active army
rates and given travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
218
Financial Assistance
All advanced cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $100 per month while
enrolled in the advanced course.
Scholarship Program
Each year the U.S. Army awards one-, two- and three-year scholarships to outstand-
ing young men and women participating in the Army ROTC program who desire careers
as regular Army officers. The Army pays tuition, fees, books and laboratory expenses
incurred by the scholarship student and, in addition, each student receives $100 per
month for the academic year. Individuals desiring to compete for these scholarships
should apply to the professor of military science at Savannah State.
Army ROTC Uniforms, Books and Supplies
Students enrolling in the Army ROTC program will be issued U.S. Army uniforms,
books and supplies by the Military Science Department. No fees or deposits of any
kind will be required. Uniforms must be returned before commissioning or upon
disenrollment from the ROTC program.
Army ROTC Courses (MIL)
The basic course of six quarters duration consists of one hour of classroom work
and one hour of leadership laboratory per week. In the classroom, the student acquires
knowledge of military organization, weapons, tactics, basic military skills, history and
customs. In Leadership Laboratory, potential for leadership is progressively developed.
The advanced course consists of three hours of classroom work and one hour of
leadership laboratory per week for two quarters in the third and fourth years. During
the spring quarter prior to advanced camp the student will enroll in MIL 303 to prepare
for attendance at Advanced Camp. This two-hour course is normally taken during the
third year. One quarter of the senior year must include an elective approved by the
Military Science Department. The coursework during the advanced course emphasizes
techniques of management and leadership and the fundamentals and dynamics of the
military team. The leadership laboratory provides the student with applied leader-
ship experiences.
